Assume some political catastrophe in the mid-twenty first century leads to nuclear war on the North American continent, wiping out most of the already-fragile power grid for both the US and Canada.
I'm working on a story that involves a timeline suggesting that Canada's province of Quebec holds the ability to turn the power back on sooner than others, due to its investment in hydroelectricity, and cities in Quebec were not seen as strategic targets of nuclear missiles. Due to the province's newly-found dominance , it quickly secedes from Canada and emerges as the dominant North American post-war nation.
Thoughts? I could use some constructive criticism.
